OOC:Starting scenario for Howl

Power, something so coveted by those that lack it, by those that need it, by those that desire it, but when is it truly power we need? When is it the tme we confess we are weak, and want more. Sometimes in the end we don't need it, for it corrupts, it weakens the soul to have so much and no way to control, to be better. In the end..........we all just need to believe we have power.

Damp and moist, so noisy and yet so quite was the swamps of Decay, its twisted trees and oozing ground gave a pungent odor in the air as the bugs chimmed and churped with endless symphony. Nothing seemed healthy, as if all living things where diseased and twisted from their former selves, the sky almost in twilight always was the sky, as if itself was sick and twisted. From afar the small group of beasts could be seen, a small rat wearing blue robes with intricate lines of grey, behind him was a squirrel, his grey fure showing his age but still clinging to the most youth it could with shades of brown in some spots, he wore an old yet sturdy green ranger's attire with daggers and a fine bow, behind him was a fox, young and brash in his eyes as he carried a greatsword and claded in simple iron armor, his fure reddish and bright with youth, and behind them all, was Howl, keeping up with their pace and following the stubborn small rat. They group slowly moved to a river, but unlike a normal river with crystal clear water reflecing one's image, this one was polluted with an abominatble green slime, making it a grotosque sight to see, rocks, twigs and the occasional bones could be seen on the river, the small rat said, "AT LAST!! we are so close, we use this river and we are in our destination!!" The squirrel yawned and nodded, "Yep, just like how I told you so" the fox stretched, "can we get on with it? I haven't seen much action!! well except for those mutants and that big thing, what was it called?" The squirrel sighed, "A BlackAdder" The fox grinned, "yeah that thing!" the rat shushed them both, "QUIET! i'm not paying you all to chatter and make us lose time!! all three of your are here to make sure I make it to the temple!"
